Rob Fennell was awarded with an Honorary Life Membership in recognition of his significant contribution to WTQA (formerly ANWTA). Under the founder and inaugural president Master Liu Deming, he was instrumental in the formation of the association and became the inaugural secretary and public officer in 2002. He was also responsible for maintaining the membership database and editing the Wushu News. In 2005 he retired from the official positions and from the committee prior to moving to the warmer climate of Yeppoon in Queensland.

In retirement Rob continues to maintain his interests in WTQA and makes important contributions from afar thanks to that modern technology called the internet! Rob has spent the best part of his life involved in martial arts and we hope that he will continue to be actively involved and support WTQA for years to come.
